Drugs were allegedly found at a Jellico residence, when Jellico Police Officer Jeffrey Ivey was dispatched to 1133 5th Street in Jellico on Sept. 8.

Upon arriving at the residence, Ivey spoke with the homeowner, asking to see proof of residence, according to the police report. Ivey also obtained permission to enter the home. Upon following the homeowner into a bedroom, Ivey was shown the contents of a drawer by the homeowner, which allegedly belonged to Crit Henderson Ford, 54, of 1133 5th Street, Jellico. Ford is allegedly also a resident of the home.

The warrant for Ivey was issued by the LaFollette Police Department because of a robbery Ivey allegedly committed a week earlier, the arrest warrant said.

On Sept. 1, LaFollette Police Officer Stephen Wallen made contact with the victim in Arby’s parking lot, which is where Ivey allegedly stole the victim’s purse by force and left the scene, the arrest report said.
